Katherine Brodsky: Owning an electric vehicle is madness and I regret ever buying one

Recently, all EV owners in my building received notice that we would no longer be allowed to plug in at all

Canadians have repeatedly been told that electric vehicles (EVs) are the future. The Trudeau government has even mandated that all new vehicles sold in Canada must be electric by 2035 (and 60 per cent by 2030, which is just around the corner). There’s only one problem: to loosely quote Jerry Maguire, “Show me the infrastructure.”

Federal budget will include tax hike for wealthy Canadians, sources say

Freeland Budget Shoes

Tuesday’s federal budget will include a tax increase on the richest Canadians, sources tell Radio-Canada.

It’s not clear exactly what form the tax measure will take but senior Liberal sources have told Radio-Canada that it will affect less than 1 per cent of Canadians.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ministers have been on a countrywide tour in recent weeks to make a series of pre-budget announcement.

Bank of America accused of religious and political ‘discrimination’ by ‘de-banking’ or refusing to service Trump supporters, Christian churches and Republican-led states want answers

A dozen Republican-led states plan to send a letter to Bank of America demanding an explanation for why it allegedly de-banked Christian and other conservative groups.

The letter obtained first by DailyMail.com, led by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, demands that the financial institution turn over documents related to its account cancellation policies and requested that the bank update its terms of services to not discriminate against clients with certain political or religious beliefs.

The notice comes after it was revealed that Bank of America sent the FBI and U.S. Treasury private consumer financial data to help the agencies investigate crimes related to the January 6 Capitol protest.

Gurski: Trudeau government shows it’s not serious about foreign election-meddling

There is much to take away from all the recent analysis and counter-analysis of foreign interference in Canada’s elections — and none of it is good.

In summary, our government minimized the threat to our electoral process, admitting that while there “may” have been “some minor” efforts to sway voter intention, when all was said and done the results were not affected. (I am waiting for someone to explain how this conclusion was drawn: does the government know the reasons individual Canadians voted and the reasons for their choice of party/candidate?)

If it benefits the LPC then Justin approves.

Lecce tells Peel District School Board to drop Nakba politics … However DEI/CRT inspired anti-White “social justice” programs will remain A-OK

Stephen Lecce has a message for the Peel District School Board: Stop with the divisive politics.

Ontario’s education minister has reached out to officials at the Peel board to tell them to reverse course on including Nakba Day on school calendars of days to commemorate.

Your kid will still find lots of support if they want to add or remove a dick.

I am happy they slapped down the Nakba nonsense but why then does it remain open season on White kids?

Ranked: All of Israel’s options for retaliation and the risks they carry

Israel’s war cabinet has been locked in discussions inside the Kirya, or “The Campus”, over how to respond to the Iran attacks.

Talks are thought to be focused on the timing and scale of Israel’s response. An immediate response was reportedly called off after pressure from Joe Biden. There’s also the question of whether Israel will be forced to act alone, as the US – its staunchest ally – has said it will not support a direct attack on Iran.

Analysts believe Israel will be weighing up whether to respond according to Iran’s intent or impact – after its attack – which largely failed to hit any targets.

French youth back compulsory military service amid war in Ukraine

The majority of French people aged between 18 and 25 are prepared to enlist in the armed forces to support Ukraine if the need arises, a new survey has revealed.

Some 62 per cent of young people are in favour of the establishment of a new compulsory military service, while 53 per cent back an increase of the French military’s resources.

Various factors are said to contribute to this apparent surge in the young’s willingness to sign up.
